On hiatus

I will be out of commission for the next couple of days. The Motor Primitives will be recording what we hope will be our next CD. We feel we need something that represents our current line-up as well as our new material. Rather than going in to a studio to record, we are bringing someone in to record us in our rehearsal space. It's something of an experiment dictated in part by our budget, but also an attempt to make it as comfortable as possible, hoping that a familiar environment will result in a more relaxed performance. We'll see how it turns out. In the mean time, the forecast calls for warm weather with a possibility of rain. We'll probably be losing much of our glorious snow over the next few days. Bummer.

Crayons: As it turned out, I think you are right about the whole comfort business. See next post for more on the subject.

Poodledoc: We had to turn off the heat in order to keep the furnace from finding its way on to the recording, so we had to wear clothes whether we wanted to or not. It was a short hiatus, but I wanted to at least put something up so all six of my readers would know why I was away this time. Autographed copies will be available to right people for the right price.

What I'm reading now

About Me

Actually, I'm pretty boring. Really.
I've been a musician for about thirty years. I play mostly fretless electric bass, although I have been dabbling with the fretted bass recently. I also mess around on other instruments. There are links below to the groups with which I am currently involved. I also plan to post some of my own music as I get around to recording it. Formerly a woodworker for a remodeling company, currently working in stringed instrument sales and repair. I'm married with two living daughters. I believe that you have to assume that those in power are conspiring to retain and increase their power at any expense. Remember, just because it's a conspiracy doesn't mean it can't be true!
